Stanley Cup Finals Game 7
Dude, look at the front page...
its on the front page already just so you know

There's the Tambellini thread, but that's info about a Michigan player. On Brian or the Board's front page, I don't see an open thread. If the other was supposed to be intended to be that, it should be labeled that. I don't see anything wrong with this thread (though I could be missing it too). Other than it could use an "OT", but whatever.
this was a thread about the Michigan Ohio outdoor game (hence the thread save comment by the op)...which of course makes my posts (thanks phone) look stupid
Slick save by the OP. And yes, it all makes sense now.
I guess it's better than just delete It serves a useful purpose now. But no, you weren't wrong.
I just saw it and posted in excitement.
delete...
*walks away in shame*
We hate you too.
Boston wins 3-1 on the road. You heard it here first.
heard it somewhere before
If porcelain Luongo lets in a weak one early, this is over. Lots of Canuck injuries, porcelain Luongo and weak psychie + just have to root for original 6 teams.
different on each others ice. If Boston can find a way to elevate their game the way they have in Boston they pull this out.
Vancouver didn't skate yesterday, Boston did, so it should be interesting to watch how the two teams come out in the 1st period tonight.
I would love to see an overtime or 3
I'm rooting for the Canucks. Can't get enough of the Sedins, Bieksa, and Kesler. Hate Luongo though (or should I say Lebrongo).
The Sedins are weird. I'm going with the Bruins for the original six flare. There's just something about Vancouver I don't like.
The amount of people outside of Rogers Arena watching on big screens looks like something out of the World Cup.
Bieksa in red next year!
Too bad I'm a Sabres fan. But we have money to spend too, so maybe I'll see Bieksa in Blue & Yellow.
Ehhh, from what I've been reading Bieksa is looking more like he wants 4yrs/17 million plus. Do you guys have that kind of money to dedicate to one player? I know ownership is more stable now, but I'm not sure. I really enjoyed watching Buffalo a couple of years back when you guys had Briere, Spacek, Tallinder, etc. Fun, fast, young team.
I am praying Boston can pull this one out. I can't stand Vancouver.
I'd like to root for an original six team, but for all I care every Boston sports team can die in a fire, go Nucks.
any other M alumni in the game?
are hunwick or kampfer still with the bruins? i feel like I heard that hunwick was traded to the avs
Kampfer is not playing. Tambellini is on the Cancuks and is in replacing Raymond. He also played in games 1 to 3 of the series.
Canucks the better team so far, but they're a little scared of Thomas. They've shot high/wide a few times, and I suspect they're trying too hard to pick the corners.
And as soon as I say that, Boston has a couple strong shifts. Good end to end action.
I find it impossible to root for a team with a guy named Thornton on it.
who needs to win this more.
On one hand, it would be great for Canada to get a Cup. On the other, I feel its better for the NHL for Boston to win. Canadians will watch hockey no matter what. But winning a Cup might do wonders for Boston in the long run
That said, great moment mullet-sporting "O Canada" singer letting the crowd belt out the middle portion.
If not the Wings, I root for the Canadian teams. It's their national game.
wanted the United States to lose to Ghana last summer.
Commie.
That's 1-0 Boston
That will make this game a hell of a lot better.
Boston carrying a 1 goal lead into the last ten minutes of the third will make for some excellent, can't-sit-down hockey.
Don't speak too soon about that third period. There's some serious firepower on both sides of this one, I could see it going either way from here.
I don't root for finger biters. Go Bruins.
tambellini seems to be playing well. i've been hearing his name a ton
He was terrible in the other games but playing pretty well in this one and I love seeing him go at Chara.
Chara shaken up - keep an eye on that, because if he is out, that's a huge boon to Vancouver.
Why root for Boston? The only player on Boston that I like is Seguin. Meanwhile, Vancouver has an awesome roster: H Sedin, D Sedin, Kesler, Bieksa, Burrows.
Because I hate all the dirty players on Vancouver. Torres for example
Burrows too. Rome. Fuck Luongo as well. The Sedins are two twats. Kesler is a Buckeye too. Shawn Thornton isn't a douche like this brother either.
Couldn't agree more.
Why root for the Canucks? Kesler is a douche, the Sedins are weird, Erhoff and the rest of the D like to go between being acceptable players and dick hacks. And they have Torres. There is nothing like that on the Bruins.
Go Canucks!! They can come back!!!
Is there a live stream link? Please, I am dying.
Wish I could help - no NBC where you are?
It's a long story. Ex GF, favor (not in a good way), at her place... why is it always so hot at women's places?
Ouch. The teams' websites should have radio feeds, don't know anything about video.
Really intense hockey here - good chances for both sides in the opening 5 of the 2nd.
Bielska or Kaberle? Interesting backstory to this one. . . .which one we like better?
GO BLUE!
You do not want Kaberle. He was the best defender in Toronto which was a low bar. Boston got him to help their power play which then got worse. For most of his time in Boston, a mean look would cause him to turn the puck over.
TK is garbage. Pure and simple awful. He struggled in the playoffs but to to be fair, he's been in Toronto where he hasn't played in many big game situations so he could adjust and learn but for the money he's going to ask for, he's not worth it. Weber is a no go. I'll take a Bieksa, Christian Heroff (sp?) or JoVo (on the cheap for a year or two). Right now it looks like we're going to have to replace Raffy (obviously) on top of Erricsson and Salei. What's the word on Lidstrom? I haven't been able to follow the news as much lately. I understand he's the best player on the team and one of the best d-men of all time (certainly of my generation) but if he's gonna come back (I'd love to have him) I'm hoping for the team's sake he'd take a small paycut. Back when we signed Hull, Robitalle (sp?), etc a lot of the vets on the team like Yzerman took paycuts (pre-cap era!). I'm not saying drop him down to a million or something but if he could open up a couple of million in cap space that'd be great. Looks like Draper and Osgood aren't going to be back either. I'm somewhat fine with that. Maltby clearly needed to go last year--Drapes I didn't mind keep around because he was always clutch on draws. As much as it pains me to see some guys go (somewhat forcibly) we're not a retirement home. As far as replacing D-men, if we only have to replace the three I mentioned above, I'd be fine with one big name signing, bringing Kindl up and giving Smith a chance. Homer is up in the air too. Gonna be an interesting offseason for Wings fans.
